Kawmeister's guys there on Third Ave - Northern Automotive Electrical? - though they have Paul's complete confidence, aren't much help with gear-driven generators as the system to drive the generator has to be jury-rigged separately each time. They are also not able to, for reasons that have never been clear to me, test generator and regulator separately - which means to me you may as well stay home and test them yourself.
On the bright side, Ted knows a good deal of this stuff from having worked in his family's garage at the time this technology was still more-or- less current; though he undertstands all the intricacies of newfangled electronics as well, he hasn't forgotten the old stuff. As far as hourly wage guys go Xcaliber would seem a logical choice, being Harley specialists. Fritz, though he is more of a generalist, and hard to hire for work like this, is certainly familiar with the charging system of a particular Panhead, no doubt there. We need to grab a generator off an old truck and one of those '60's mechanical regulators for testing purposes... it was a real problem solver for me to borrow the Bosch regulator off one of Kaziff's Volvos to finally prove Leanne's Sportster had 2 dud regulators IN A ROW.
